Good. Those WQ unlocks need to all go account wide, and I'm very happy with the invasion point consideration!

*cough* account-wide prestige rewards *cough*

The threshold I'm truly waiting on though is the Krokul flute. Revered (with the secondary faction) is ok. Character specific is ok. Both is not.

I remember one of the blues posted something about this on the forum couple of weeks ago saying it is up for a debate and suggestions... I wish they would make the flute account wide as well.

I don't mind doing the chain quest to open WQ on my alts, there are some rewards worth the time, but I am glad I can now log in, do some WQ/invasions and be done - and finish the chain quests when I have more time or feel like doing it again.

Totally. I was sure they promised that pre-7.3. The thought of doing that quite long quest chain 12 times over because I'm an alt-aholic actually made me unsub for the time being. I enjoy logging on and playing whatever I feel like playing for 20 minutes or so, but going on to characters and seeing 0 world quests in the 3 new zones just made me log straight back out. I've done the full quest chain 4 times now, and that feels like enough.

I think it was supposed to do that considering fast travel points shared immediately. Then again, the fact these unlocks went out this soon is actually ahead of the curve by Blizzard standards.

Incidentally, the chain is still worthwhile to do on all characters since it awards a decent amount of Veiled Argunite.

The threshold I'm truly waiting on though is the Krokul flute. Revered (with the secondary faction) is ok. Character specific is ok. Both is not.

I'm kind of surprised it's not something a player gets at Honored. There's precedence for changing rep requirements (see: Shipyard hotfixes) and this one seems prime for it.

I managed to get both of my Ally and Horde main to revered within 3 weeks. It's not that hard.

Great point! Ok folks we can all stop talking about it, this person has theirs! Thanks for letting us know, was getting worried!

World Nerf! Oh, wait they tried that and quickly rolled it back last week. Yeah, -4/5% Personal Loot on everything was dumb. I bet thousands of people made plans to take off. Why dude? WTF?

Considering the Argus Flute is not needed and is merely a convenience to cut maybe 5-10 seconds at most off of travel time, I'm perfectly fine with it having requirements, especially since doing WQ's on Argus is the only reason you'd need the flute and doing those same WQ's means you are almost certainty going to hit revered anyway.

*cough* account-wide prestige rewards *cough*

Yeah, seriously. I like to PvP, I don't like to have to re-grind the same pvp rewards on every alt. Why punish me for switching to a class my team might need for a 3v3 or RBG? Prestige should be account wide and be a single pool.

The single pool thing will never happen so long as I can get 3000 honor in about 5 minutes (or faster if loading screens are kind) going down my list of 6 classes with insta-complete WQs.

As someone who has done prestige 1-6 twice (and used said instant completes to get prestige 2 on 6 more characters) I do wish they'd make it a thing, though.

All of this. I don't play Alts otherwise. Need the appearances for my main to meet my primary completionist needs

Please, PLEASE make the flight whistle upgrade account wide as well!

That's true, but like some other players I have a full server of end-game toons. Doing the grind 12 times is not ok for most people. Maybe it's ok for you, and that's nice, but not every one agrees.

Account-wide access to new world bosses on Argus is the best news ever, I don't know why it wasn't the case from the very beginning, since the reintroduction of world bosses in MOP they were always free access content without any gating.

I already got it in 4 chars. But guess what, I agree with lowering it to Honored or doing it account wide. The item doesn't gonna make your character more powerful or bring imbalance to WoW, it only helps to make a trip shorter, so no reason for Blizzard to have it gated behind a Revered reputation. I would love to have it in my healers cos I hate to get stuck with a npc when I come back from certain invasions to the teleport point. Or when I'm doing things in Argus and I need to get to a safe point ASAP cos real life calls. I would have expected to get it after completing all the quest chain... not grinding it =/

Comment by Weislet

How far in exactly are the quests needed to unlock this? Because I've cleared all quests hordeside for Argus, swapped to my ally and everything is locked. I'm sure I'm just misunderstanding what they mean by account unlocked once you get past x quest.. does that mean x quest on every bloody alt still?
